Paco Barrera got things started in the 5th minute as he converted an assist from Tyler Walker to make the score 1 to 0. Barrera added his second goal in the 23rd minute unassisted. Marshall County scored at the 25 minute mark to make the score 2 to 1 at intermission.
In the second half, the Tigers tied the match in the 45th minute only to see Leo Botello put the Raiders back on top 3 to 2 off an assist from Briggs Haithcock. Botello put the game out of reach in the 73rd minute off an assist from Ben Reid to improve the Raiders to 2 and 0 on the season.
